My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Something Hassan said on stream today inspired me to make this horrific image. I’m sorry. #fetterman #MTG

I know it looks like I started this fire for the insurance, but Antifa did it

All that trash in the woods? Antifa used my truck to do that. Nobody understands their anarchist motives

honey I definitely didn't approve all these onlyfans charges on our Amex. goddamn Antifa really has it out for me

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

If you ever interact with anybody named Adrian, just know that you can call them Hadrian anytime you want. It's okay. Nobody's going to know

This the kinda shit people say to me in the smoking zone outside the gay bar

Baroque screenshot of a floating green skirt girl in a dark dungeon telling you "You were extracted from our soul. We are insane. It's your fault we became insane."

Same girl as before but now she is saying "You want to cut me? That's fine. You probably want to kill me, right? Then kill me. If you killed me, I think I'd be glad."

Christ I love the Cuomo campaign, you SO RARELY see a political candidate so constantly dragged not by criticism, insults, or even analysis, but by people just copy-pasting shit he says verbatim and letting it stand on its own merits.

so anyways this is the DNC's preferred candidate

this really is the new Golden Age for rapists isn't it? like it's hard to believe one political party could advance the Sexual Predator Agenda so thoroughly without years of influence and donations from some sort of mythical Corporate Big Rape lobbyist group

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Tears stream down my face. Is this what it feels like to experience victory, purer and more complete than any man has ever known?

God I love that word. I can't remember where I saw it, but there was some video that said "Castlevania got its name because it's a Metroidvania set inside of a castle".
